i thought this sort of posts were against ToS

"Political/Religious/Commercial/Promotional Activities" refer to the act of engaging in activities and promotions that involve real-life political groups, religious organizations, or business entities that have no connections to Final Fantasy XIV. Even if the activity is for charity, it is prohibited as the activity is not relevant to the game."
or am i mistaken?

I would hazard a guess and say 1/3 of all threads here probably do. Exploiting political, cultural etc stuff seems to be the latest tactic of the forums trolls. Unfortunately moderation here is like a rare minion. You may see it once or twice, but never count on it being a guaranteed thing.

to quote Dr. Zoidberg

Did someone unironically use Dr. Zoidberg as a supporting quote in an argument

LMAO

But you did admit to having alts...in a titanmen thread. I know plasuable deniablility is a thing...but if the shoe fits.

Nope wait...you admitted to being Skiros. But if I was to dive deeper...(and I won't cause I'm tired) I could probably link Skiros to Titanmen from slip ups.

you gotta try harder if you want me to incriminate myself

I'd rather NOT go into this further, but for the record, there were/are schools whose official policy is to encourage children to transition and not tell their parents. I forget the name of this, but basically "transition at school", treat the child as the other gender, call them by their new chosen name and pronouns, etc, and keep all this from their parents.

You may agree or disagree with that as a policy, but it has happened. There are also case of children being encouraged to take the next steps (hormone therapy and surgical interventions) even if they may not be totally sure of their gender identity themselves.

Also, the quote you provided was well after any of that discussion was going on, and as I noted, supporting transition and such and opposing opposition to such things and to it being taught in schools IS a modern policy of the left party in the US.

Oh no. What will I do... Meh, I see people being biogts, transphobic...

That's the thing: YOU DON'T.

You don't see people being those things because THEY aren't being those things. You WANT them to be those things so you can namecall and attack them.

There are many kinds of people in this world, but here are three that are important to remember:

1) Those who seek to subdue their inner demons.

2) Those who have no problem expressing them openly.

3) Those who have a problem expressing them openly but DON'T want to subdue them - so they just call people demons and witches (or transphobes and bigots and racists and so on), and use that as justification to be just like the people in (2) just with a clean conscience.

A fantastic quote everyone should memorize:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
― C. S. Lewis

EDIT:

And yes, I do have a bee in my bonnet over this sort of thing.

I hate it when bullies go around bullying people, then try to act the victim - while still bullying - if they get a taste of their own medicine. It's like the kid who all BUT touches their sibling while shouting "I'm not touching you!" over and over, and then when the sibling does it to them (or actually does touch them), cry and scream bloody murder and try to get authority figures to aid them in attacking people who were already their victims.

Transphobe and bigot are insults. No one can pretend otherwise. Calling broad swaths of society that is you instigating. When they do it back to you, you don't get to claim victimhood. And worse, you don't get to then use THAT as a FURTHER attack on them or as ex post facto justification for the names you were ALREADY calling them before.

...GOD I hate bullies...especially the insufferably self-righteous kinds. Religious or secular, it's all the same kind of thing, and I can't stand either. Just leave people alone. And if you can't be bothered to not attack and insult people, don't cry when they do to you what you were already doing to them. <_<

I dunno, if calling out bigotry is an inner demon then I really do not think I have a problem expressing it. Me and this demon get on rather well I think! Think I will call them... Woki. That has a nice ring to it given the topic.

The fuel?? Lmao

No.

The fuel is the playerbase. Titan is but the catalyst.

A spark does nothing without fuel.

Nope my analogy stands. Titan and all the alts...you included since you already admitted to being and alt...

You're the fuel. We are the flame. You make a thread and throw the fuel all around...and we light it up.

That's how this works. No flame? No fire. But MAN do they got flame up. It's habitual now. You'll be in business now and forever.

sorry man, titan isn't the fuel. titan can't write half the shit gemina and renathras comes up with, can't get angry like zephyr is, just look at what is above: an epic battle

it's honestly so hilarious and with or without titan these people will still think this way anyways someone else can easily spark it alight

simmering below the surface of polite society, man's core yearns for the chaos

that's the only thing titan does: he pulls back the curtain. nothing more. people just want to express their opinions on this topic hehehe

Why are you referring yourself in the 3rd person. It's weird. Only Mao is able to pull that off.

Also...your analogy fits here to I guess.
